After Chao Gai finished speaking, Tang Bin, Hao Siwen and Xuanzan were also embarrassed, Guan Sheng and the three of them were the most familiar, but it was because they were familiar with Guan Sheng's personality that the three of them felt that the difficulty of persuading Guan Sheng to surrender was not ordinary, Guan Sheng was Guan Yu's descendant, and he had always been based on his ancestors as a flaunt, with loyalty as the first, and it was extremely difficult to want him to join Liang Shanbo and rebel against the imperial court.

Chao Gai also knew what the three of them were thinking, and said at the moment: "It's man-made, it's naturally best if General Guan is willing to join Liangshan and gather with us, if you don't, everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force it, and then send General Guan into the gang." ”

"Brother, there is also a General Ling Zhen, if Ling Zhen is also persuaded to surrender, then with the addition of Tang Bin Brothers, Hao Siwen Brothers and Xuanzan Brothers, it may be possible to say that Guan Sheng." Lu Jiang said at this time.

Chao Gai heard General Lu's words, slapped his head, and said: "Why don't we forget Ling Zhen, this person is a talent for me Liangshan, this person makes a hand of artillery, and the terrain of the city is like a broken bamboo, come here, invite General Ling Zhen to the Juyi Hall." ”

Ling Zhen has always dealt with artillery since he entered the army, but whether it is his boss or a senior member of the court, he does not need to regard artillery, in their eyes, artillery is equal to fireworks, and only two cannons can be fired during the New Year's holidays.

This time Guan Sheng protected himself in front of the saint, Ling Zhen thought that the day of his emergence had come, as long as he made contributions on the battlefield, the imperial court would see himself and see the power of artillery, and then not only his lifelong dream would come true, but also glorify his ancestors and glorify the lintel.

But he didn't expect that before Ling Zhen could make a move, he was captured alive by Liangshan's military horses, in Liangshan's cell, Ling Zhen didn't think about tea and dinner, just sat quietly in the corner, and it was most appropriate for Huai Cai to be used on him.

When Sergeant Liangshan escorted Ling Zhen to the Juyi Hall, Ling Zhen was already haggard, and there was no trace of light in his eyes. ”

"Alas, what is the use of the first person in artillery, it is still regarded by the official family and dignitaries as a thing for fun during the New Year's holidays." Ling Zhen sighed and said weakly.

Chao Gai laughed, patted Ling Zhen's shoulder, and said, "What do you mean by what's the use?" Why is it useless, in my opinion, artillery will definitely become the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield in the future, and artillery will replace catapults as a killer weapon for conquering cities. ”

Chao Gai's words made Ling Zhen, who was originally dead, his eyes light up instantly, and he looked at Chao Gai in surprise, he never thought that the entire Great Song Dynasty really had a confidant of his, and what surprised him was nothing else, it was that confidant who was actually the leader of the anti-thief, the famous Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai in the green forests of the rivers and lakes.

"Chao Tianwang also knows the power of artillery?" Ling Zhen was a little unconvinced, and asked at the moment?

Chao Gai nodded, smiled slightly, and said in a very firm tone: "Splitting mountains and rocks, moving like thunder. ”

Ling Zhen's eyes widened, with an incredible look, seeing Ling Zhen's surprised appearance, Chao Gai felt amused, and immediately said: "The reason why the existing artillery has not been taken seriously is because the power of the artillery is still too small to reach the level of conquering the city. There is a problem with the barrel and the problem of gunpowder, and I can solve all of them here. ”

Ling Zhen said that he was a general, but he was also an out-and-out scientific madman, as soon as he heard Chao Gai say this, where else could he care about at the moment, he was around Chao Gai to ask this and that, just like a primary school student, Chao Gai also knew everything about Ling Zhen's questions, and Ling Zhen was so happy that for a while, two people asked a question and an answer was an hour.

Everyone next to him was so shocked when they saw this scene, even the military advisor General Lu was surprised, they didn't expect their brother Chao Gai to solve Ling Zhen so easily, seeing that Ling Zhen was destined to join the gang.

After a long time, Chao Gai realized that there were still brothers waiting around, and said to Ling Zhen with a smile: "Brother Ling Zhen, the matter of artillery is not something that can be said in a moment and a half, and some places still need to carry out repeated experiments. ”

"No problem, of course, those traitors and corrupt officials don't take me Ling Zhen seriously, today I am fortunate that God opened his eyes and let the younger brother see his brother, only then do I know that there are still people who understand the younger brother in this world, the one who is a confidant dies, the woman is the one who pleases herself, and the virtuous brother is willing to join Liangshan and follow his brother to do the right thing for heaven." Ling Zhen agreed without even thinking about it.

Chao Gai happily patted Ling Zhen's shoulder and said, "Hahaha, good brother, don't worry, brother, I will definitely let the name of my brother and artillery spread all over the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Thank you, brother." Ling Zhen said excitedly.

Ling Zhen has also solved it, and the next thing is to persuade Guan Sheng, although everyone is not optimistic, but Chao Gai also wants to give it a try as long as there is a little bit of the same, and let the head who still has something to do go back first, only Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng, Lu Jiang, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping, Hao Siwen, Tang Bin, Ling Zhen, and Xuanzan are left in the hall.

After a while, Guan Sheng was also brought over, although Guan Sheng was a prisoner at this time, and his body was tied with a rope sturdy, but he still walked with his head held high, and he was full of tigers, which made people can't help but admire when they see it.

At that moment, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen walked over and untied the rope on Guan Sheng's body, Guan Sheng moved his shoulders and looked at Hao Siwen, and immediately knew that Hao Siwen had also taken refuge in Chao Gai, so he snorted coldly and pushed away Hao Siwen and the two of them, as for Tang Bin, he didn't even look at it.

Hao Siwen also knew his brother's temper, and he was not angry at the moment, he smiled and said: "Why is my brother obsessed, is this Great Song still the same as when Taizu fought the world?" The emperor is mediocre, the traitors of the court are in charge, the people are not happy, there are barbarians eyeing the outside, the troubled times will rise, heroes are coming out, the king of Tota Chao Gai is the hero at that time, my brother will not know, which of the people around this is not the king of Chao Tiangthanks, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the way is more help and less help, the brother is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, will he not know? ”
